As mentioned in the AMOEBLOG posted yesterday about the late great Bay Area graffiti artist DREAM here are pics from a brand new large scale mural  painted by DREAM ol skool partner SPIE and others. Still being finished up it is in San Francisco's Mission District - captured here being painted by legendary Bay Area graf artist SPIE along with others from the SF based H.O.M.E.Y. Project.   These pics were taken at the beginning of last week which was exactly mid-way during the five week painting project that began July 14th. Next I will post pics taken yesterday as the piece is near completely done. Meantime if you want to go check out this socially and politically charged mural you can find it on 24th Street in the Mission - in a parking lot off 24th St  in between Capp Street and Lilac alley. I took all these pics last week on a sunny afternoon as SPIE and several others were out en force. A part of the ten year San Francisco community/art based H.O.M.E.Y. Project the new mural artists' also included Mike TRIGGER (pictured above), Nancy Pili, and Marina Prez-Wong (pictured painting below three pics down) among others. 

The large colorful mural is sponsored by the San Francisco's Planning Commission who bulit a new raised wall for the art. The space, in a parking lot off 24th,  is completely fenced in with a big metal prison-like fence.  This provided the artists with inspiration for the piece that was partially planned/sketched out and partially improvised. "The fence all around here  kind of gave us the basis for the theme here," said SPIE. "We're commenting on  a lot of stuff as far as cotent here. The theme is loosely about fences, walls and prisons in a sense being utilized to solve problems because this (the metal fence) is supposed to be put up to curb gang violence which is not a healthy solution to a problem - its the gating and jailing  of a community in a lot of ways. So we are making a comment about that and a comment about relating it not just local issues but worldwide from the Mexican/American border immigration issue that is going on right now. And you've got the Palestine wall right here which is a big issue.....Overall it is about solidarity of communities of color and oppressed people - black and brown unity......"
